JQuery/Javascript how to Parse HTML using a Get

Question

I have the following working code. This displays a drop down and also fetches a html file to be displayed:

   $.getJSON(\'json/shares.json\', function(data) {
          


        

Answer 1

Well for the first point you could just run

$('#shares').on('change', function(){
    var val = $(this).val();
    //submit another ajax request with this value, and get the relevant page, then you'd just need to parse it for the appropriate content from that page.
});

If you want to parse the returned page and get only part of this we'd need to know the markup structure.
